Software management is done by creating software packages and distributing them using TED. Software packages can be configured so that a server must meet certain minimum requirements before a package is installed on it. Software packages can consist of multiple software package components.
Each software package component can also be configured so that minimum requirements must be met before that component can be installed on the server.
This planning documentation does not cover software packages because their installation does not require Policy and Distribution Services installation or basic configuration decisions. For instructions on creating and using software packages, see Server Software Packages.
For information on converting older .SPK and .CPK files to ZfS 3.0.2, see Converting Older Server Software Packages to ZfS 3.0.2.
